Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は電気融着装置に関し、特にたとえば地中に敷設されて老化したガス用鋳鉄管の内部に挿入した更生管に分岐サドルを融着するための電気融着装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
老化した既設の鋳鉄管の内部にポリエチレン等の合成樹脂からなる肉薄の更生管を挿入して、鋳鉄管を更生する方法が従来から知られている。図7を参照して、この更生管1に分岐管を接続する場合には、鋳鉄管2に孔2aを設け、その孔2aを通して更生管1に樹脂からなる分岐サドル3を接合する。このサドル3の接合面には予め発熱体である電熱線4が埋め込まれ、接合の際にはこの電熱線4を電磁誘導によって発熱させるためのワークコイル5を外部から配置する。そして、発熱した電熱線4周辺の樹脂を溶融して、サドル3を更生管1に融着接合し、その後このサドル3に分岐管を接続する。また、このときサドル3は、鋳鉄管2の下方に配置される基台(図示せず)から上方に延びる支柱に上下方向移動可能に配置される押圧部材によって、更生管1に支持される。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来技術では、鋳鉄管2の下方の土を掘削してサドル3を支持する基台を配置するための空間を形成しなければならなかったので、作業性が悪いという問題点があった。
また、誘導用のワークコイル5は鋳鉄管2の孔2aの外縁に載せた状態で配置される。したがって、更生管1の外径が変化すると、ワークコイル5とサドル3に設けられた電熱線4との距離が変化し、電熱線4から一定の熱を生じさせるのが困難である。すなわち、ワークコイル5に一定の電力を供給しても接合時間が長くかかり作業性が悪いという問題点もあった。
【0004】
それゆえに、この発明の主たる目的は、作業性を向上できる、電気融着装置を提供することである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
第1の発明は、合成樹脂からなりかつ既設の鋳鉄管の内部に挿入される更生管に分岐サドルを誘導融着する電気融着装置であって、鋳鉄管の外面に沿って湾曲された管受容部と、管受容部から管軸を越えて延びるかつ管軸の位置における鋳鉄管の外径と等しいかそれよりも大きい間隔を隔てた2つの脚部とを含むクランプ、2つの脚部の管軸を越えた位置にそれぞれ設けられて鋳鉄管を押す第1押し部材、管の管軸方向にクランプと所定間隔を隔てて設けられてサドルを押す第2押し部材、サドルの外面に配置されるかつ鋳鉄管に設けた孔の径より小さい外径を有するワークコイル、およびワークコイルをサドルに押し付けるワークコイル押えを備える、電気融着装置である。
【0007】
【作用】
の発明において、サドルを鋳鉄管に支持するための基礎部品であるクランプを鋳鉄管の上方に配置する。
さらに、ワークコイルを、サドルに押し付けた状態で固定することによって、ワークコイルとサドルの融着部との距離を一定にし、サドルの融着面に一定の熱量を供給する。
【0009】
【発明の効果】
第1の発明によれば、サドルを鋳鉄管に支持する部品を鋳鉄管の上方に配置するので、鋳鉄管の下方の土砂等を掘削する必要がなく、作業性を向上できる。
さらに、この発明によれば、サドルの融着面に一定の熱量を供給できるので、融着時間を均一化でき、融着接合の信頼性および作業性を向上できる。
【0010】
この発明の上述の目的,その他の目的,特徴および利点は、図面を参照して行う以下の実施例の詳細な説明から一層明らかとなろう。
【0011】
【実施例】
図1に示すこの実施例の電気融着装置10は、たとえば地中に敷設され老化したガス用の鋳鉄管12の内部に挿入された更生管14に、分岐用のサドル16を融着するためのものであって、鋳鉄管12の外面に固定されるクランプ18を含む。
【0012】
更生管14は、ポリエチレンやポリ塩化ビニル等の合成樹脂からなり、たとえば図2に示すように、所定形状に折り畳まれた状態で鋳鉄管12の内部に挿入され、その内部に熱風を吹き込むこと等によって鋳鉄管12の内壁に沿うように拡径される。したがって、更生管14は比較的薄く形成され、その剛性は比較的小さい。
【0013】
図3からよくわかるように、クランプ18は、鋳鉄管12の外面に沿って湾曲された略半リング状の管受容部20を含み、管受容部20の周方向両端部には、鋳鉄管12の管軸Aを越えて下方へ延びる脚部22が形成される。脚部22の管軸Aを越えた位置には、ねじ孔22aが形成される。2つの脚部22の間隔は、鋳鉄管12の外径とほぼ等しいかそれよりも大きくなるように設定される。また、管受容部20の中央部上面には、支柱24を支持するための、穴26を有する支持部28が一体的に形成され、支持部28には、一側面から穴26に通じるねじ孔30が形成される。そして、脚部22のねじ孔22aには、その先端が脚部22の内面側へ突出するようにしてボルト32が螺合され、その先端には、鋳鉄管12の外面に圧接される第1押圧部材36が回転可能に取り付けられる。一方、支持部28のねじ孔30には、その先端が穴26の内面側へ突出するようにしてボルト34が螺合される。
【0014】
そして、支持部28の穴26に支柱24の下端を挿入してボルト34を締め付けることによって、クランプ18に支柱24が接続され、この支柱24にワークコイル押え40およびサドル押圧部42が取り付けられる(図1)。
ワークコイル押え40は、支柱24を挟持する挟持部44および挟持部44と一体に形成されるかつワークコイル46をサドル16に押し付ける押え部48を含む。挟持部44には、それぞれの挟持片を締め付けてワークコイル押え40を支柱24に固定するためのボルト50が設けられる。
【0015】
サドル押圧部42は、支柱24に固定される第1部分52(上側)および支柱24に対して上下方向へ摺動可能に取り付けられる第2部分54(下側)を含み、第1部分52と第2部分54とが高さ調整ボルト56を介して連結される。
第1部分52は、略ブロック状に形成され、その長手方向一方端部には、支柱24を挟持するための挟持部60が形成され、挟持部60には、それぞれの挟持片を支柱24に締め付けるためのボルト62が設けられる。第1部分52の長手方向他方端部には、ねじ孔64が形成される。
【0016】
第2部分54は、略ブロック状に形成され、その長手方向一方端部には、支柱24が挿通される図示しない孔が形成され、長手方向中央部には、高さ調整ボルト56が挿通される孔68が形成され、長手方向他方端部には、孔70が形成される。そして、孔70には、第2押し部材としての押圧器72が取り付けられる。
【0017】
押圧器72は、孔70に取り付けられる本体72aおよびサドル16の上端面に当接される当接部72bを含み、当接部72bが本体72aの内部において上下方向に摺動可能に支持される。また、本体72aの内部には、当接部72bに対して下方へ付勢するためのコイルばね(図示せず)が設けられる。さらに、当接部72bの下部には、当接面を有するフランジ72cが形成される。
【0018】
そして、第2部分54の図示しない孔に支柱24を挿通し、かつ第1部分52の挟持部60で支柱24を挟持した状態で、第1部分52のねじ孔64にねじ込まれた高さ調整ボルト56の下端が、第2部分54の孔68に挿通されて第2部分54の下面に回転可能に係止される。
ワークコイル46は、図4に示すように、略ドーナツ状のコイル部46aを含み、コイル部46aの上面の所定位置には、制御部46bが設けられ、制御部46bの一側面には、端子46cが設けられる。また、コイル部46aの外径は、図1からよくわかるように鋳鉄管12に設けられる第1の孔12aの径より小さく設定される。
【0019】
サドル16は、ポリエチレン等のような合成樹脂からなり、図5からよくわかるように、更生管14の曲率半径R1 より大きい曲率半径R2 を有し、かつ更生管14より大きい剛性を有する略円板状の座部16aを含む。座部16aの外周面は、底面側へ向かうにつれて拡径するように傾斜され、座部16aの略中央部には、分岐孔16bが形成される。また、座部16aの外面には、この分岐孔16bの周縁部から立ち上がって分岐管部16cが形成され、座部16aの内面には、所定のキュリー温度を有するワイヤ状の磁性合金ヒータ16dが埋め込まれる。なお、磁性合金ヒータ16dのキュリー温度(磁性体が磁性を失う温度)は、その構成成分の配合割合を変化させることによって調整でき、接合時の最適融着温度を考慮して設定される。
【0020】
電気融着装置10を用いてサドル16を更生管14に融着接合する際には、まず、鋳鉄管12の所定個所にホールソー等を用いて第1の孔12aを形成し、この第1の孔12aを通してサドル16を更生管14の外面に位置決めする。続いて、ワークコイル46を、そのコイル部46aの中心にサドル16の分岐管部16cを挿通して、コイル部46aの下面を座部16aの外面に当接させる。このとき、コイル部46aの外径は第1の孔12aの内径以下に設定されるので、コイル部46aが鋳鉄管12の外面に係止されることはない。
【0021】
次に、クランプ18(図3)の脚部22に設けられたボルト32を緩めて押圧部材36を後退させた状態で、クランプ18を鋳鉄管12の上方からその外面に被せる。続いて、ボルト32をねじ込んでいく。すると、ボルト32によって押し出された押圧部材36が鋳鉄管12の外面に圧接されるとともに管受容部20の内面が鋳鉄管12の外面に圧接され、それによって、クランプ18が鋳鉄管12の外面に固定される。
【0022】
そして、高さ調整ボルト56(図1)をねじ込むことによってサドル押圧部42の第2部分54を降下させ、押圧器72の当接部72b(フランジ72c)をサドル16の上端面に当接させる。その状態からさらに高さ調整ボルト56をねじ込んで更生管14を座部16aの内面に沿うように変形させ、座部16aの内面と更生管14の外面とを密着させる。さらに、ワークコイル押え40の押え部48を、ワークコイル46のコイル部46aに押圧した状態でボルト50を用いて固定する。すなわち、コイル部46aとサドル16の磁性合金ヒータ16dとの距離を一定にする。
【0023】
続いて、ワークコイル46の端子46cに高周波電源80を接続し、高周波電源80をオンしてコイル部46aに高周波電流を流す。すると、電磁誘導によって磁性合金ヒータ16dに渦電流が生じ、表皮効果によって磁性合金ヒータ16dが急激に発熱する。磁性合金ヒータ16dの温度がキュリー温度に達すると、磁性合金ヒータ16dの透磁率が小さくなるため電流抵抗が激減し、磁性合金ヒータ16dはそれ以上温度上昇しなくなる。したがって、座部16aと更生管14との接合面は磁性合金ヒータ16dのキュリー温度またはその近傍で加熱され、融着接合される。すなわち、過熱による融着中の樹脂劣化が防止される。
【0024】
ここで、ワークコイル46のコイル部46aは、サドル16の座部16aの外面に当接するように配置され、磁性合金ヒータ16dとの距離が一定である。したがって、磁性合金ヒータ16dに一定の熱量を供給することができるので、融着時間の均一化を図ることができ、融着接合の信頼性および作業性を向上できる。
【0025】
更生管14にサドル16を融着接合した後、電気融着装置10を取り外し、図6に示すように更生管14に更生管14と分岐管部16cとを連通する第2の孔14aを形成する。そして、鋳鉄管12の外面に鋳鉄等からなるクランプ部材80を装着する。クランプ部材80は、半割り円筒状の第1片80aおよび第2片80bを含む。第1片80aの略中央部には、サドル16の分岐管部16cを引き出す孔82が形成され、孔82の内周面には、シールリング溝84が形成される。また、第1片80aの内面には、鋳鉄管12の第1の孔12aを囲むようにしてシールリング溝86が形成される。そして、シールリング溝84および86のそれぞれにシールリング90および92が装着される。したがって、第1片80aと第2片80bとをボルト・ナット94を用いて接合すると、シールリング90によってサドル16とクランプ部材80との隙間がシールされ、シールリング92によって鋳鉄管12とクランプ部材80との隙間がシールされる。
【0026】
そして、孔82から引き出した分岐管部16cに継手96を介して分岐管98を接続する。

A first push member that pushes the cast iron pipe provided at a position beyond the pipe axis, a second push member that pushes the saddle and that is provided at a predetermined distance from the clamp in the pipe axis direction of the pipe, and is disposed on the outer surface of the saddle. And a work coil having an outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the hole provided in the cast iron pipe, and a work coil presser for pressing the work coil against the saddle.
[0007]
[Action]
In the invention of this, the clamp is a base component for supporting the saddle on cast iron pipes arranged above the cast iron pipe.
Furthermore, it supplies the word Kukoiru, by fixing in a state pressed against the saddle, and the distance between the fused portion of the work coil and the saddle constant, a constant amount of heat to the fusing surface of the saddle.
[0009]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first invention, since the component that supports the saddle on the cast iron pipe is disposed above the cast iron pipe, it is not necessary to excavate the earth and sand below the cast iron pipe, and workability can be improved.
Furthermore, according to the present invention, since a certain amount of heat can be supplied to the fusion surface of the saddle, the fusion time can be made uniform, and the reliability and workability of fusion bonding can be improved.
[0010]
The above object, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
【Example】
An electrofusion apparatus 10 according to this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is used for fusing a branch saddle 16 to a rehabilitation pipe 14 inserted into an aged cast iron pipe 12 laid in the ground and aged, for example. And includes a clamp 18 fixed to the outer surface of the cast iron pipe 12.
[0012]
The rehabilitation pipe 14 is made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the rehabilitation pipe 14 is inserted into the cast iron pipe 12 in a folded state, and hot air is blown into the inside thereof. Thus, the diameter is expanded along the inner wall of the cast iron pipe 12. Accordingly, the rehabilitation tube 14 is formed relatively thin and its rigidity is relatively small.
[0013]
As can be clearly seen from FIG. 3, the clamp 18 includes a substantially semi-ring-shaped tube receiving portion 20 that is curved along the outer surface of the cast iron tube 12. A leg portion 22 is formed that extends downward beyond the tube axis A. A screw hole 22a is formed at a position beyond the tube axis A of the leg 22. The distance between the two leg portions 22 is set to be approximately equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe 12. A support portion 28 having a hole 26 for supporting the support column 24 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the central portion of the tube receiving portion 20, and the support portion 28 has a screw hole that communicates with the hole 26 from one side surface. 30 is formed.

The pressing member 36 is rotatably attached. On the other hand, the bolt 34 is screwed into the screw hole 30 of the support portion 28 so that the tip of the screw hole 30 protrudes toward the inner surface side of the hole 26.
[0014]
And the support | pillar 24 is connected to the clamp 18 by inserting the lower end of the support | pillar 24 in the hole 26 of the support part 28, and fastening the volt | bolt 34, and the work coil presser 40 and the saddle press part 42 are attached to this support | pillar 24 ( FIG. 1).
The work coil presser 40 includes a holding part 44 that holds the column 24 and a presser part 48 that is formed integrally with the holding part 44 and presses the work coil 46 against the saddle 16. The clamping portion 44 is provided with bolts 50 for fastening the respective clamping pieces to fix the work coil presser 40 to the support column 24.
[0015]
The saddle pressing portion 42 includes a first portion 52 (upper side) fixed to the support column 24 and a second portion 54 (lower side) attached to the support column 24 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The second portion 54 is connected via a height adjustment bolt 56.
The first portion 52 is formed in a substantially block shape, and at one end portion in the longitudinal direction thereof, a holding portion 60 for holding the support column 24 is formed, and each holding piece is attached to the support column 24 in the holding portion 60. A bolt 62 for tightening is provided. A screw hole 64 is formed at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the first portion 52.
[0016]
The second portion 54 is formed in a substantially block shape, and a hole (not shown) through which the column 24 is inserted is formed at one end portion in the longitudinal direction, and a height adjusting bolt 56 is inserted in the central portion in the longitudinal direction. A hole 68 is formed, and a hole 70 is formed at the other end in the longitudinal direction. A presser 72 as a second pressing member is attached to the hole 70.
[0017]
The pressing device 72 includes a main body 72a attached to the hole 70 and a contact portion 72b that contacts the upper end surface of the saddle 16, and the contact portion 72b is supported so as to be slidable in the vertical direction inside the main body 72a. . In addition, a coil spring (not shown) for urging the contact portion 72b downward is provided inside the main body 72a. Further, a flange 72c having a contact surface is formed at the lower part of the contact portion 72b.
[0018]
Then, the height adjustment screwed into the screw hole 64 of the first portion 52 in a state where the support column 24 is inserted into a hole (not shown) of the second portion 54 and the support portion 24 of the first portion 52 is clamped. The lower end of the bolt 56 is inserted into the hole 68 of the second portion 54 and is rotatably locked to the lower surface of the second portion 54.
As shown in FIG. 4, the work coil 46 includes a substantially donut-shaped coil portion 46a. A control portion 46b is provided at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the coil portion 46a. A terminal is provided on one side of the control portion 46b. 46c is provided. Moreover, the outer diameter of the coil part 46a is set smaller than the diameter of the 1st hole 12a provided in the cast iron pipe 12 so that FIG. 1 may understand well.
[0019]
The saddle 16 is made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene and has a radius of curvature R 2 larger than the radius of curvature R 1 of the rehabilitated tube 14 and a rigidity greater than that of the rehabilitated tube 14 as can be seen from FIG. A disc-shaped seat portion 16a is included. The outer peripheral surface of the seat portion 16a is inclined so as to increase in diameter toward the bottom surface side, and a branch hole 16b is formed at a substantially central portion of the seat portion 16a. A branch pipe portion 16c is formed on the outer surface of the seat portion 16a so as to rise from the peripheral edge of the branch hole 16b. A wire-like magnetic alloy heater 16d having a predetermined Curie temperature is formed on the inner surface of the seat portion 16a. Embedded. The Curie temperature of the magnetic alloy heater 16d (the temperature at which the magnetic body loses magnetism) can be adjusted by changing the blending ratio of its constituent components, and is set in consideration of the optimum fusion temperature at the time of joining.
[0020]
When the saddle 16 is fusion-bonded to the rehabilitation pipe 14 using the electric fusion apparatus 10, first, a first hole 12 a is formed at a predetermined location of the cast iron pipe 12 using a hole saw or the like, and the first hole 12 a is formed. The saddle 16 is positioned on the outer surface of the rehabilitation pipe 14 through the hole 12a. Subsequently, the work coil 46 is inserted through the branch pipe portion 16c of the saddle 16 at the center of the coil portion 46a, and the lower surface of the coil portion 46a is brought into contact with the outer surface of the seat portion 16a. At this time, since the outer diameter of the coil portion 46a is set to be equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the first hole 12a, the coil portion 46a is not locked to the outer surface of the cast iron pipe 12.
[0021]
Next, in a state where the bolt 32 provided on the leg portion 22 of the clamp 18 (FIG. 3) is loosened and the pressing member 36 is retracted, the clamp 18 is put on the outer surface of the cast iron pipe 12 from above. Subsequently, the bolt 32 is screwed. Then, the pressing member 36 pushed out by the bolt 32 is pressed against the outer surface of the cast iron pipe 12 and the inner surface of the pipe receiving portion 20 is pressed against the outer surface of the cast iron pipe 12, whereby the clamp 18 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the cast iron pipe 12. Fixed.
[0022]
Then, by screwing the height adjustment bolt 56 (FIG. 1), the second portion 54 of the saddle pressing portion 42 is lowered, and the contact portion 72b (flange 72c) of the pressing device 72 is brought into contact with the upper end surface of the saddle 16. . From this state, the height adjusting bolt 56 is further screwed to deform the rehabilitating tube 14 along the inner surface of the seat 16a, and the inner surface of the seat 16a and the outer surface of the rehabilitating tube 14 are brought into close contact with each other. Further, the presser part 48 of the work coil presser 40 is fixed using the bolt 50 in a state where the presser part 48 is pressed against the coil part 46 a of the work coil 46. That is, the distance between the coil portion 46a and the magnetic alloy heater 16d of the saddle 16 is made constant.
[0023]
Subsequently, a high frequency power supply 80 is connected to the terminal 46c of the work coil 46, the high frequency power supply 80 is turned on, and a high frequency current flows through the coil portion 46a. Then, an eddy current is generated in the magnetic alloy heater 16d by electromagnetic induction, and the magnetic alloy heater 16d rapidly generates heat by the skin effect. When the temperature of the magnetic alloy heater 16d reaches the Curie temperature, the magnetic resistance of the magnetic alloy heater 16d is reduced, so that the current resistance is drastically reduced and the temperature of the magnetic alloy heater 16d does not increase any more. Therefore, the joint surface between the seat portion 16a and the rehabilitation pipe 14 is heated at or near the Curie temperature of the magnetic alloy heater 16d and is fusion bonded. That is, resin degradation during fusion due to overheating is prevented.
[0024]
Here, the coil portion 46a of the work coil 46 is disposed so as to contact the outer surface of the seat portion 16a of the saddle 16, and the distance from the magnetic alloy heater 16d is constant. Accordingly, since a certain amount of heat can be supplied to the magnetic alloy heater 16d, the fusion time can be made uniform, and the reliability and workability of the fusion bonding can be improved.
[0025]
After the saddle 16 is fused and joined to the rehabilitation pipe 14, the electric fusion device 10 is removed, and a second hole 14a that connects the rehabilitation pipe 14 and the branch pipe portion 16c is formed in the rehabilitation pipe 14 as shown in FIG. To do. Then, a clamp member 80 made of cast iron or the like is attached to the outer surface of the cast iron pipe 12. The clamp member 80 includes a half piece cylindrical first piece 80a and a second piece 80b. A hole 82 for pulling out the branch pipe portion 16c of the saddle 16 is formed in a substantially central portion of the first piece 80a, and a seal ring groove 84 is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the hole 82. Further, a seal ring groove 86 is formed on the inner surface of the first piece 80a so as to surround the first hole 12a of the cast iron pipe 12. Then, seal rings 90 and 92 are mounted in the seal ring grooves 84 and 86, respectively. Therefore, when the first piece 80a and the second piece 80b are joined using the bolt and nut 94, the gap between the saddle 16 and the clamp member 80 is sealed by the seal ring 90, and the cast iron pipe 12 and the clamp member are sealed by the seal ring 92. The gap with 80 is sealed.
[0026]
Then, the branch pipe 98 is connected to the branch pipe portion 16 c drawn from the hole 82 via the joint 96.
